The Department of Veterans Affairs is launching a comprehensive study of women veterans who served in the military during the Vietnam War to explore the effects of their military service upon their mental and physical health. The study, which begins this month and lasts more than four years, will contact approximately 10,000 women in a mailed survey, telephone interview and a review of their medical records. The study will assess the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental and physical health conditions for women Vietnam veterans. The study will be managed by specialists in the VA's Cooperative Studies Program and is projected to cost $5.6 million.
